Bath Couple Hurt In Car-truck Collision Police

An elderly Bath couple were in stable condition yesterday in Muhlenberg Medical Center after being injured in a car-truck collision Friday afternoon in Hanover Township, Northampton County.

State police at Bethlehem said Anastasia Skorupski, 71, of 153 Bluebird Lane, had apparently stopped at a traffic sign at Hanoverville Road and turned north onto Route 512, moving into the path of a tractor trailer traveling south on 512.

The truck, driven by Thomas G. Filer, 37, of 25 N. 3rd St., Perkasie, braked but hit the left front of the car. The Skorupski vehicle was demolished in the 1:25 p.m. crash.

Mrs. Skorupski and her husband Adam were taken to the medical center by Hanover Township Ambulance. A hospital spokesman said Adam Skorupski was being treated in an intensive care unit for a fractured left rib, lung contusion and bruises. Mrs. Skorupski was admitted to a medical-surgical unit with a fractured right wrist.
